Hi
I try to answer, but of course i’m not talking for every affiliate program in the industry, I just talk about the one I represent:
can you please tell me how to protect my referrals so they are properly tagged me when they click through my banners? Is there an aggressive method that unscrupulous others can employ to steal my traffic and if so what can I do to prevent them?
A: To who are you referring when you mention “unscrupulous other”? I think the best way to make sure that your links are working fine, is to make a test: register and account using one of your links, deposit, play a little bit, wait 24h and see what happens to your stats
Is it ‘last cookie wins type’ referral? So if my traffic has already visited xxxcasino.com days ago or even another affiliate site, but then clicks through my banner, will I be credited with this referral?
A: Yes, last cookie wins
I noticed when I visited one casino operator that a pop up appeared promoting another of their brands. This was quite disconcerting because if I drive my traffic to them and choose not to promote one of their other brands I might then lose them UNLESS my referral is still being tracked – and I’m highly suspicious that it won’t be. I was more shocked because it’s quite a large and well known brand. Is this normal?
A: Can’t answer this one, as we do not do cross branding via Pop up; if you don’t like the idea (I wouldn’t), promote a program who doesn’t do cross branding via Pop
Are the b-tag methods a perfectly safe and reliable method of tracking?
A: they work for us just fine
Ciao
